System Date Retrieval

["G.R.Srinivas" <srinivasgr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Everyone,

Can anyone help me in retrieving system date either in CLP or in RPG
and storing it in the PF. I am working on V4R3. I've tried the
following method but it didn't work.

PF Member --:
R DATREC                
                  DAT1            L

DSPF Member --:
A                                  5 21'DATE : '
A            DAT1      R     L  I  5 31REFFLD(DATREC/DAT1 TLIB1/DATE1)

FA       CF  E                    WORKSTN          
C                     EXFMTDA                      
C                     WRITEDATREC                  
C                     SETON                     LR

Input --:
                        
 DATE :    1999-01-01   
                        

PF output --:
                                Display Report                        
      
                                             Report width . . . . . : 
    10
Position to line  . . . . .              Shift to column  . . . . . . 
      
Line   ....+....1                                                     
      
       DAT1                                                           
      
000001 0001-01-01                                                     
      
000002 0001-01-01                                                     
      
****** ********  End of report  ********                              
      
                                                                        
The CLP code is
PGM                                                      
             DCLF       A                                
             DCL        VAR(&DAT1) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(26)   
             RTVSYSVAL  SYSVAL(QDATE) RTNVAR(&DAT1)      
             SNDRCVF    RCDFMT(DA)                       
                                                         
ENDPGM

There was no compilation error but hte runtime error was
CPF1095 received by DATCL at 400.
whatever length I give I get this message.

If anyone could help me, I would be very much obliged.
THANKS A LOT in advance.

Srinivas.
